SCRIP

What Is Scrip?

Scrip is a term that means "substitute money". When you purchase scrip, you're purchasing negotiable gift certificates or prepaid cards that are used just like cash. There are NO extra hidden fees. Just pay for the face value of the gift certificate or prepaid card for each retailer you shop; and use them just like cash. You can use scrip to purchase everyday expenses like food, clothing, and gas for your car. You can also use them for appliances (large & small), as well as Home Improvement projects. (See the order form)

How does scrip generate revenue?

Whenever you purchase Scrip certificates or cards, Queen of All Saints Church or School receives cash back in the amount of 2% to 25 %. Remember this is at NO cost to you. To order scrip, simply complete the order form. Scrip can be purchased preferably with cash, money order or by check. You can also use a credit card, but this costs QAS a 2.42% processing fee. For example if there is a 5% rebate on a certain card or certificate, the rebate then becomes only 2.58% if a credit card is used.

When can you buy Scrip?

Scrip is sold after all weekend masses. And, when school is in session, scrip is sold Monday thru Friday, 7:45 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. You can also send your order in with payment with a student, or call your order to #219-872-4420, ext 202, and pick up your order in the school office. Additionally, you can fax your order to #219-872-1943, or place your order on-line.

Profit Designation:

You can annually designate that your generated scrip profit be given to the Parish, School or for tuition for a particular student. And, you can also designate the 8th Grade Washington DC trip, the 4th Grade Indianapolis trip or the QAS Festival.

A Word about "Profit":

The “profit” number reported weekly in the Parish bulletin is “gross profit”. To arrive at the “net profit”, which can be used for various Parish or School projects, you need to deduct the programs' direct costs, including credit card fees and shipping costs. After doing that, you end up with the amount available for distribution. Distributions earned by student families are applied to tuition at Queens and Marquette. Once that is done, you arrive at a “net profit” that is used for various Parish and School projects. The split between the Parish and School is determined by you the customer when you designate so at the top of the scrip order form.
